The SuperComputing 2009 conference is scheduled for November 14th through 20th at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, Oregon.

The Network for Education and Research in Oregon (NERO), the Oregon GigaPOP (OGIG), and its partners in Oregon are partnering with SCinet to provide WAN services support. In order to plan the WAN and metro resources required to support conference participants, we are asking exhibitors and network entities to identify their WAN circuit requirements into the Oregon Convention Center.

If your organization will require additional WAN circuits (i.e. CalREN, NLR WaveNet, Internet2 WaveCo, another provider, etc), please respond to Chris Costa at CENIC with the details of your particular requirements. Please provide CENIC with the following information:

• Circuit type and bandwidth
• Circuit origination point
• Circuit termination point on the SC09 showfloor

Even if you are unable to provide all the details above, please contact CENIC as soon as possible.

The SC09 WAN team is planning to support the extension of WAN circuits from the following locations into the Oregon Convention Center:

• Level(3) Portland Gateway (Internet2, NLR)
  1335 Northrup
  Portland, Oregon


• Portland NAP, Pittock Block
  921 SW Washington Ave
  Portland, Oregon

Please send your circuit requirements, questions or concerns to Chris Costa at ccosta@cenic.org.
